Browser Issue with theme/replacing thier slider with FCG

PostBy Inblingham on Wed Oct 05, 2011 12:44 pm

I am building a site that is using the Spitz theme purchased at Themeforest. I have never been able to get the slider it comes with to function. The z-index and Css seem to be having issues with all of the current browsers, pictures won't load up either. Even the live demo on Themeforest is displaying with the exact same issues, and we have checked using various computers at various locations. Having used FCG with another site with no issues...it works perfectly, decided to bag the one that came with the Spitz Theme (cannot get any reply from the developer other than an automated one). So, I placed the FCG shortcode at the top beneath the page header on index.php. Issue comes with where the FCG positions on the page. It sits between Featured Pages section and Posts. I would like it to sit where the broken slider is now. At my wits end on this one, any ideas please. To view my issue http://rummerfield.com/?page_id=2 Thanks so much!

for fcg to work you need to have at least 2 posts with articleimg custom fields specified, try to remove other slider and on that place put the gallery call

1. Check settings to exclude fcg-YOU conflict
2. Try to turn off all your plugins at once to exclude fcg-other plugin conflict
3. Try default theme to exclude fcg-theme conflict

Thank-you for the advice. Found the call, commented out the cycle slider coding, added the FCG code. Can see it will work, the space is there with a shadow designating placement of the gallery. Will add at least 2 posts with articleimg custom fields specified, customize the css...from past experience with this plugin, know it will work exactly the way I want. Thanks again! :)

Maybe I spoke too soon. The FCG is displaying an empty box with white border, so I know it is there on the home page where it is supposed to be. But the two test images I loaded using articleimg are not showing. Am I missing a step or ??? Please advise...Thanks so much!

Admin,
Did you get my two PM's? My outbox indicates that they were sent but they did not move to the sent folder...
Thanks!

the problem was with this file
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://rummerfield.com/wp-content/themes/spitz/lib/scripts/custom.js"></script>
I commented it out in header.php
and moved fcg to another location

Is there any way to have it back where it was & still have it function? We really want the slider above the "featured page" links. His slides need to be the most prominent. Otherwise, the only option would be to turn off those links. Thoughts? BTW, thank-you so very much for looking into this for us. Both Pat Rummerfield and I appreciate your support and this plugin! What a lifesaver!

Never mind the last request, it is now working perfectly and in just the right placement on the page. A little CSS customization and the picts & it is perfect. Again, thank-you for your awesome support and this plugin. It works perfectly and I can personally say it has with multiple themes. Just awesome! :)

Any thoughts on how to place it where it should be? I played around with Firebug and can get it back to the left changing:

.jdGallery {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
position: relative;
}

To:
.jdGallery {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
position: absolute;
}

But, then it overlays the entire header and page content without centering. Aaahhh! & I don't want to muck up the display in IE or Chrome, which are looking exactly like I want.
Any thoughts are welcomed. Thanks so much!
